    Rewrite much of psql's \connect code, for the sake of code clarity and · 7815ca7b
    Neil Conway authored
    to fix regressions introduced in the recent patch adding additional
    \connect options. This is based on work by Volkan YAZICI, although
    this version of the patch doesn't bear much resemblance to Volkan's
    version.
    
    \connect takes 4 optional arguments: database name, user name, host
    name, and port number. If any of those parameters are omitted or
    specified as "-", the value of that parameter from the previous
    connection is used instead; if there is no previous connection,
    the libpq default is used. Note that this behavior makes it
    impossible to reuse the libpq defaults without quitting psql and
    restarting it; I don't really see the use case for needing to do
    that.
